Question:

Petrol pump operation is considered as a lower order function in which country?

Options:

USA

Nigeria

India

Indonesia

Correct Answer:

USA

Explanation:

Differentiations between rural and urban on the basis of functions are more meaningful even though there is no uniformity in the hierarchy of the functions provided by rural and urban settlements. Petrol pumps are considered as a lower order function in the United States while it is an urban function in India. Even within a country, rating of functions may vary according to the regional economy. Facilities available in the villages of developed countries may be considered rare in villages of developing and less developed countries.
